Default TSP Twin Turbo C6 Update!!

We're nearly finished tweaking on the Texas Speed Base Twin Turbo Package! The guys @ HP helped us put together the prototype C6 kit over the last 4-5 weeks The base kit will be designed to product 600 flywheel horsepower. As soon as we get all the tuning tweaks lined out we plan on working on a 402 based 800 flywheel horsepower package! I'll post some pics & dyno results tomorrow when we get the tuning lined out.

but what i dont understand is...that kind of power..is it only meant for drag racing..cuz i doubt vette can effectively use that power and go around a track?

I am sure a 400 or may be bumped up 500hp vette would outperform this on a complicated track?

Can someone explain how this much power helps until the car has been designed to use that much power in its favour..

when you are in a parking lot moving 5-10 mph how much of that 600 hp are you using?? Or when floating around a corner how much throttle/power are you using??

where would you use that kind of power??? in a straight line

Thats the nice thing about a V8 with a turbo smooth throttle response and quick spool up time for great overall manors on a track.

Tuning here is still a week out Right now the great guys @ Magnacharger is helping me with the base tune for it. I hope to start the 402 ls2 conversion for it pretty soon Right now the car makes 460rwhp & 510 rwtq @ 4900rpm when the car starts tripping codes & loses all power. We'll get the tuning lined out though

Hey chris this is joel from GMR SPEED. We just got done tuning a C6 with a Cam,headers,cat-back. Turned out pretty good once we got most of the parameters. Still needs some fine tuning, but wow is the ls2 nice.

For a guy with 465 RWHP you're not making any sense here

Sorry guys we're working really hard to get the car tuned now. The P0336 code is making it near impossible to start with the new 402 ls2

I lived in texas for 2 years and I know you Texans are proud about your state's size... "everything is bigger in Texas and Don't mess with Texas." However, if Alaska was spilt in two, then you'd be the third biggest.

I've been to Anchorage. Everything is way overpriced - from restaurants, to cars, to houses. At least Texas doesn't have to pay people to stay.
